Description
Please consider adding a stop sign pair to the north and south bound direction of travel. As currently configured the intersection is very dangerous for cars, pedestrians, cyclists etc. About half the people traveling north/south expect a stop sign and stop causing issues with flow behind them who do not. People in the crossing direction traveling east bound on the one way, also confused, assume there is a stop sign for cross traffic and pull out. Coupled with the use of the marina lot and demens landing for event parking, which fills quickly, and then the sheer amount of vehicles passing out who are frustrated at the lack of a spot, and no confronted with a one way they didn't consider to travel back up 1st Ave S and frequent south bound closures.... Causes dismay. We live in the marina and have witnessed a few accidents and dozens of near misses. Simply adding the often anticipated stop sign here would significantly alleviate the potential risks. I would be happy to meet at the intersection to discuss and review if that would be helpful. Thanks for your considerination.

Dear Mr. Adkinson,
Thank you for submitting this SeeClickFix. We actually did an all-way stop study for this intersection in 2021. We look at things like the volume of traffic on the approaches to the intersection, and the crash history. It did not meet the minimum warrants for an all-way stop. I did an updated review of the crash history for this intersection for the past year and can find no crashes. I do not see a reason to do a new study.
Sincerely,
